If the type of the matchee is a type alias, it seems the pattern matcher won't go that extra mile to dealias it and see if it's an Int-like value:

$ cat testTableSwitch.scala 
package test.switch

object Test {
  type Tag = Byte

  def switchBad(i: Tag): Int = i match { // notice type of i is Tag = Byte
    case 1 => 1
    case 2 => 2
    case 3 => 3
    case _ => 0
  }

  def switchOkay(i: Byte): Int = i match { // notice type of i is Byte
    case 1 => 1
    case 2 => 2
    case 3 => 3
    case _ => 0
  }
}
$ scalac testTableSwitch.scala

$ javap -classpath . -c 'test.switch.Test$'
Compiled from "testTableSwitch.scala"
public final class test.switch.Test$ {
  public static final test.switch.Test$ MODULE$;

  public static {};
    Code:
       0: new           #2                  // class test/switch/Test$
       3: invokespecial #12                 // Method "<init>":()V
       6: return        

  public int switchBad(byte);
    Code:
       0: iload_1       
       1: istore_2      
       2: iconst_1      
       3: iload_2       
       4: if_icmpne     15

 ... comparing each value individually ...

      43: iconst_0      
      44: istore        4
      46: iload         4
      48: ireturn       

  public int switchOkay(byte);
    Code:
       0: iload_1       
       1: istore_2      
       2: iload_2       
       3: tableswitch   { // 1 to 3
                     1: 40
                     2: 36
                     3: 32
               default: 28
          }
      28: iconst_0      
      29: goto          41
      32: iconst_3      
      33: goto          41
      36: iconst_2      
      37: goto          41
      40: iconst_1      
      41: ireturn       
}

Oh good, yet ANOTHER example of moors regressing my beautiful working pattern matcher. Tests? I thought he was better than that! In 2.8 and 2.9:

  public int switchBad(byte);
    flags: ACC_PUBLIC
    Code:
      stack=1, locals=3, args_size=2
         0: iload_1       
         1: istore_2      
         2: iload_2       
         3: tableswitch   { // 1 to 3
                       1: 40
                       2: 36
                       3: 32
                 default: 28
            }
        28: iconst_0      
        29: goto          41
        32: iconst_3      
        33: goto          41
        36: iconst_2      
        37: goto          41
        40: iconst_1      
        41: ireturn
